Just because it makes no sense:  The Speaker of the US House explains how unemployment creates jobs.  This is the kind of stupid thinking that Carol Shea-Porter Supports.  And After the ‘Every Dollar of Food Stamps nets $1.78 worth of economy” comment, this has to be one of my favorite dingbat, left-wingisms. Hint: The democrat’s …

Carol Shea-Porter and Ann McKluster are so scared of The Pledge, they can’t even open their envelopes!

  and: Heh!  This is just SO rich.  BOTH sound like they are oh so reasonable with taxpayer money – after all, they only want to help others – with yet other peoples’ money.  ANY attempt to limit their access to that last item causes them to recoil in absolute horror! The Pledge has been …
